I Am Enjoying Being A Muslim

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:
[quote]Allah says: "I Have no reward other than Paradise for My believing slave who (remains patient) and hopes for My reward when I take his dearest person from among the inhabitants of the worldly life."[/quote]

Allah knows what He is doing. I should have patience. Allah has a plan for us. We are exactly where He wants us to be right now.

Allah tested Prophet Noah with a flood, Prophet Abraham with a fire, Prophet Jacob with blindness, Prophet Joseph with separation, Prophet Job with illness, Prophet Zechariah with loneliness, Prophet Moses with tyrants, Prophet Aaron with betrayal, Prophet Solomon with kingdom, Prophet David with war, and Prophet Mohammad with all kinds of tests we can ever imagine! and we're asking, "Why us?" Let's be patient; and keep praying to Allah for His mercy and take honor that Allah tested us and gave us a chance to join the ranks of His loved ones.

How about infidels like me?
Christianity promises hell for those who do not believe what happens to those who do not believe in Allah or his prophet?
I am curious is all so you can feel free not to answer this if you do not wish to.

@SW-User Thank you for your question.

Nobody has the right to say if someone is going to Paradise or Hell, it's God's right, so I cannot say what is your destiny will be.

However, according to the Quran, Paradise is only guaranteed for people who die while believing in the Oneness of God, the Creator, and also do good deeds.

[Quran 3:185]
[quote]Every soul will have a taste of death, and you will receive your recompense on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever is swayed from the Fire, and admitted to Paradise, has won. The life of this world is merely enjoyment of delusion.[/quote]

@Madeleine Basically the same thing then. Both religions deny you entrance into their versions of Paradise.

@SW-User If you don't believe in Hereafter, why would you be concern about what happens to you after death?

@Madeleine I am not? Just curious to what you believed

@SW-User Fair enough.
